Win a Tigron model! - UK entrants only

You've all been going on about how to get your hands on one of these things. Well Playstation UK is giving one away! All you need to do is follow them on Twitter and retweet this message for a chance to win

With 3D Printing becoming a commonness I see no problem to produce something like that by yourself. And this Tigron was definitely printed by the looks of it.
All you need is a file with 3D model, that can be found here on this forum, and this magnet thing that can be bought anywhere you want.
Yeah, you'll have to spend money, but hey, you'll be able to get yourself a ship of your favourite team, not just some god-forsaken Tigron.

@AdHoc, too many small details. A printer with higher resolution is needed. I guess two years was enough for this technology to advance.
But nonetheless your feisar looks impressive, a little bit ragged, sure, but if you paint it maybe it won't be noticeable.
I was thinking to start with 2048 ships, they are less detailed then less artefacts will pop up I guess.

PS. How does it feel to have a materialized WipEout ship in your hand in real life?

Painting ABS is not as easy as it seems. I reckon stickers could have worked better, like they did with the Tigron at the playlist live event.

It feels amazing, I still have them in a box. What you need is a bigger printer with better resolution, because the smaller you print, as you mentioned, the more you lose detail.
